The old man grinned as he swirled the wine in his glass before taking a sip. "Do not worry, Your Majesty, everything will be done perfectly, per usual. One of the leads I got pointed me to a young Gypsy dancer who might be the one you are looking for. I have sent my people to get her."
Althea nodded understandingly, drinking her wine as well. "Then, I assume, you wanted to haver her fun with her first?"
